Re: Can I attach Windows partition space with home without reinstalling?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I mean the order of the partitions. In case you're not sure,
you can run `fdisk -l /dev/sdX` as root (replace "X" with your drive letter).

The first scenario (Arch before Windows) will look like this:
    /dev/sdX1 50G  # arch
    /dev/sdX2 400G # windows

The second:
    /dev/sdX1 400G # windows
    /dev/sdX2 50G  # arch

Hope you understand now. :)

Can you please explain what do you mean by before and after ?

If your Arch partition is *before* the Windows partition, you can just
delete
that Windows one and either use GParted to resize the Arch partition
(the easiest way) or, if you don't want to use it, delete the Arch
partition too
with fdisk(8) etc. and create it again full-sized. This way you'll change
the size of the partition. After that, you also need to resize the
file system.
You can do this with resize2fs(8).

Note that you'll need your root partition unmounted, so these steps
need to be done from LiveCD.

But if the Arch partition if *after* the Windows one, you can move
your /home contents there (unmount it first, doesn't require using
LiveCD)
and edit your fstab(5) accordingly.

Good luck.

Hello,

So I have arch installed on a 50GB space, I also have 400 GB  as a
windows partition, I want to know is there a way for me to delete that
windows drives and attach them with either / or /home so that I can use
them from Linux without reinstalling?

Thanks
